About Mrs. Jarvis...
Hello! My name Mrs. Margaret Jarvis!
I am privileged to say that I am a Third Grade Teacher at Lincoln Trail Elementary School!
Here is a little bit about me…
I was born and raised in Mahomet!
I graduated at the top of my class from the University of Illinois in 2013 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.
This is my seventh year working at Lincoln Trail. I have had the privilege to teach all three grades in our building! I spent one year in 5th grade, three years teaching 4th grade, and this year will be my third year in 3rd grade!
In addition to my passion for education, I also have a love for dance- and even more so, a love for coaching/mentoring. I was previously the Head Coach of Mahomet-Seymour High School’s Competitive Dance Team.
When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my husband, Nick, and all of the amazing people (& dogs) in my life! I also LOVE to read, study, travel, exercise, laugh, go out to eat, and hang out at my church.
My Philosophy:
I believe every child brings something special to the classroom, and that true development happens when a multitude of perspectives are brought together. I feel privileged to facilitate an inclusive, inviting environment where such development is experienced through the communication of my students' ideas. My ultimate goal is for every one of my students to feel supported, appreciated, and loved not only by me, but by his or her classmates as well. My hope is that the encouragement students will receive under my care will build a sense of confidence and curiosity that carries with them throughout their lives.
